It’s been awhile since I’ve posted some video game related news, so I feel like it’s due. Without further ado, here is a double feature pulled from recent headlines:

First up, Wii and PS2 owners will soon be able to get new Rock Band songs! Harmonix will be releasing a Track Pack Volume 1 disc which will include 20 master tracks for $30. The new disc will be playable as a standalone (without needing to purchase the Rock Band game), but you will obviously still need the instruments. The disc doesn’t have near the number of songs that XBox or PS3 owners have access to through download-able content, but at least it is a good variety of fun songs.

Next up, the video game publisher, Take Two, is suing the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) for taking down game advertisements for their game, Grand Theft Auto IV. Controversy always follows in the wake of GTA as it is usually blamed for violence amongst teens. Whenever something terrible happens, parents and media alike swivel their blame finger to “those terrible video games that glorify violence”. I guess Fox was just a little premature this time…
